The fifth and last game u dr- termlne the championship will in all proDaoutty, oe played in Suluvaii around the tenth of March. It is hoped that a large crowd of rooters will accompany the team and also af ford the team a means of getting there. The game Wednesday started oil with a bang. Union got the tip oil and made several good passes and tried f- .l,n l H It A 1 1 i"i v.it. ftwut ciiivi .1 aiiuuiu iiatc it : a counter, but one of those freaks happened and the ball rolled off. Sul livan came back and scored. The iirst quarter was all Sullivan's, their score at the end being 6 to Union's 2. In the second quarter. Union started to I buck them a little better, and then the score was Sullivan 9 to Union's 6. During the half intermission the locals got inspiration and the rest of the game was all Union's. Both sides did some heavy scorins in the third quarter but Union came out ahead. 18 to 16. Union's defense was airtight and Sullivan was unable to get through. Mearfs. guarding Smith, high point man for Sullivan, held him down to two counters. In the last quarter. Union increased their lead, until tlv final score was 27 to 20. Much can be said about this game. Union played the best gome of the season and the team showed marked improvement in their defense. In previous games Sullivan had scored through Union's weak defense, but this time their defense was strong. Farrel'.. was high point man, with Daugherty. runner up. Giebler and Hare, although not scoring played a good defensive game and kept the visitois from scoring many times. The next game will be with Hermann here Wednesday, February 29.

It is hoped that a large crowd of rooters will accompany the team and also af ford the team a means of getting there. The game Wednesday started oil with a bang. Union got the tip oil and made several good passes and tried f- .l,n l H It A 1 1 i"i v.it. ftwut ciiivi .1 aiiuuiu iiatc it : a counter, but one of those freaks happened and the ball rolled off. Sul livan came back and scored. The iirst quarter was all Sullivan's, their score at the end being 6 to Union's 2. In the second quarter. Union started to I buck them a little better, and then the score was Sullivan 9 to Union's 6. During the half intermission the locals got inspiration and the rest of the game was all Union's. Both sides did some heavy scorins in the third quarter but Union came out ahead. 18 to 16. Union's defense was airtight and Sullivan was unable to get through. Mearfs. guarding Smith, high point man for Sullivan, held him down to two counters. In the last quarter. Union increased their lead, until tlv final score was 27 to 20. Much can be said about this game. Union played the best gome of the season and the team showed marked improvement in their defense. In previous games Sullivan had scored through Union's weak defense, but this time their defense was strong. Farrel'.. was high point man, with Daugherty. runner up. Giebler and Hare, although not scoring played a good defensive game and kept the visitois from scoring many times. The next game will be with Hermann here Wednesday, February 29.
